ABC National

[Guest]

P.S. this is Jensen Pierson for those of you who know who i am.(in the process of username change) This National was so much fun! I ended up selling, trading, and buying so many birds. I lost track for a little bit! I am just glad i got everyone Home (and didnt take anyone home who wasnt suppose to come home with me lol) I ended up getting best buff large fowl of the open show! I was excited about that! I also got best display with my black large fowl! That was a HUGE suprise!!!! Its was a nice show with lots of birds, and i learned alot too!!! I am so going to the next ABC nationals!!!! :p
P.S. Jerry and Jake, how old are the black cayuga drake and hen you sold me? Has the hen started to lay yet?

We returned to Wisconsin about 1:30 this mor.  Trip was uneventful and birds made it in fine fashion.  As usual, we had a great time. Was fun visiting with all of you again. Had fun teasing and picking on Matthew(he is pretty good at giving it back too).  Again, congrats to all the winners, infact congrats. to everyone. This was one quality show, from top to bottom.   Hope everyone else makes it home safe.

Jensen, both birds are 2010 hatch,and the she has not started laying yet.

Jerry ,Jake, and Emmy

Jensen, I loved your belt and boots.  Boy, this National wore me out but was so much fun.  I came home with 11 new birds in all but was minus one pullet or hen.  I must have left her in the show barn but at least I didn\'t come home with extra.  It was my first national and not my last and I really enjoyed it.  My son and his friend had a good time with Matthew.  Thanks everyone, Tina Dinkins

Thanks Jerry and Jake for the info.........Does anyone know what happened to the eggs in the eggs contest? The only reason i ask is because I showed my eggs in my own two wooden bowls and i would have liked to have had them back... One is a dark brown shade, the other is like a checkered light tan shade. Its not a big deal if i dint get them though........

Ask John Blehm or Barbara Campbell, one of those two probably know where the baskets are.

This is Mike Gilbert; Mary and I are on the way home from Frankfort, making a two day trip out of it.   I will agree with Jerry.   I believe the quality was deeper than any national meet I have attended.   There were many outstanding birds that could have won it all in the past.   Thanks to Jim Fegan, I have the Champion large fowl of show, a black Ameraucana pullet, in my Buick on her way to a new home at Red Stag Acres.  Thank you Jim.  And I think I gave everyone fair warning on this discussion board about my neighbor, Bob Walchak.   All he did was take the Champion Ameraucana over all on a white bantam cockerel.  Oh, and best blue wheaten bantam, best black bantam, and best brown red bantam.  He kicked our butts.   And John Blehm showed the best silver bantam female I have ever seen.   Anyway, Mary and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.   Thanks to all who made it possible.

what happened to the eggs

David and I disposed of the eggs and asked Barbara to send the left over baskets to Michael with all the other stuff she has to pack and mail to him.  They may be at Indy next year.    

PS...we left about a quarter after 9 this morning and got home about 6:30 this afternoon.  Did any mention it was a great weekend?

I think I gave everyone fair warning on this discussion board about my neighbor, Bob Walchak.

Boy were you right, that is a super little bird!

[Blue Egg Acres]

Even though I came home exhausted, having had the privelge to host the Ameraucana national in the southeast district is one of the most satisfying feelings I\'ve experienced. I want to thank all members for bearing with me as I muddled through and a special thanks to those who jumped in to help when and where they were needed. We have a great group!

We managed to get home safely missing most of the storms in Arkansas and Texas.  It was 943 miles there-going through Missouri, and 894 miles back-going through Arkansas.  It was great to see the Ameraucana gang again after missing the past two years!  We are looking forward to the national meet in Indy next year!  Then my turn in 2012!!

Mr Smith, Is there a proposed location fro the 2012 show?  

[Jean]

I\'m really sad I missed it this year.  I guess every other year isn\'t too bad.
